Yep, what you'd expect
Software Engineer • Current Employee
May 20, 2024
Pros: BigCorp, as expected. Great pay and benefits. Family well taken care of. Fair work-life balance, as long as greed doesn’t tempt you.
Cons: They dangle that carrot very well. It’s just one more hour of work… right?
5.0
A highly competitive and high reward environment
Software Engineer • Current Employee
September 4, 2024
Pros: I joined Meta from Google, and in a lot of ways they are similar.
Both companies are very engineering-centric.
What I like about Meta is that it is more dynamic, and things get done faster. It is still a good idea to have a design document, but only to achieve alignment with your peers faster and unblock you. If there is no controversy about your idea, you can just go ahead and code it.
Cons: This environment of "move fast" creates a lot of pressure due to high expectations.
Lack of boundaries between teams creates a very competitive environment. If you don't work on an opportunity within your area of responsibility, someone else will, and soon.
